Purpose

The Zoning Board of Adjustment has the authority to grant use variances from the approved municipal zoning ordinances and approval of a site plan application for development in conjunction with such a variance. The Board can also hear appeals of certain decisions of the Zoning Officer and make determination of pre-existing, non-conforming uses.

Application

Initial questions about applications may be directed to the Building and Zoning Office in the Municipal Building at 973-427-5555, ext. 214.

Application for property subdivisions and site plan review (where no use variances are required) must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Board.
